Paquetá responds to Newcastle’s fast start and salvages point for West Ham

As the price tag attached to Declan Rice almost certainly increased and Newcastle’s hopes of Champions League qualification receded a little, David Moyes’s grip on the manager’s job at West Ham tightened.
Admittedly Moyes is still inching his way back into boardroom favour and his side remain in relegation peril but a few more stellar performances of this hugely impressive ilk from Rice and his fellow midfielder Lucas Paquetá should ensure an ultimately happy ending in East London.
At the end of a week in which Newcastle had reached the Carabao Cup final, Eddie Howe was forced to settle for a fourth draw in the last five Premier League games as, once again, he received a reminder of the suspended Bruno Guimarães’s importance.
In some ways the game’s key sub-plot centred on two Brazilian midfielders who became on-field partners and close friends off it during their time at Lyon. While Guimarães eventually left France for Tyneside, Paquetá headed to the London Stadium where he is now doing his bit to keep Moyes in a job.
The biggest difference between them here was that while Guimarães watched intently from an executive box Paquetá proved incisive in Newcastle’s box, scoring West Ham’s equaliser on a day which started appallingly for the visitors.
In the third minute Joelinton and Sean Longstaff combined to intercept Lukasz Fabianski’s goal kick and Longstaff’s fine through ball prefaced Callum Wilson advancing to shoot, left footed, beyond West Ham’s goalkeeper.
It was Wilson’s first goal since October and offered swift consolation for Newcastle’s disappointment after 40 seconds when Joe Willock thought he had scored courtesy of a beautifully calibrated shot from a tight angle only to see it disallowed following a VAR review. Miguel Almirón was the culprit, the Paraguayan having allowed the ball to go out of play as he cued Willock up with a defence confounding cut-back but.
The pensiveness writ large across Moyes’s face suggested he was not entirely looking forward to the ensuing 90 minutes or so. Barely 30 minutes later the Scot was sporting a smile as wide as the Tyne. When Rice whipped in a near post corner, Nayef Aguerd flicked on and, lurking at the far post, Paquetá converted the equaliser unerringly, Newcastle’s new-found defensive solidity evaporated.
It was the first time Nick Pope had retrieved the ball from the back of his net in seven Premier League games and reflected the shift in the game’s power balance which had begun when Rice galvanised his teammates by issuing them with quite a talking to following Wilson’s goal.
After starting strongly Newcastle were beginning to miss Guimarães’s controlling influence in a central midfield department dictated by Rice and could have done without Willock collecting a yellow card for fouling Paquetá.
“Declan’s going to be a top player; undoubtedly he’ll be a British transfer record when he leaves West Ham – and then some,” said Moyes who also had Aguerd to thank for an excellent defensive performance crowned by a goal-preventing tackle on Wilson. “But I hope that’s not anytime soon. Declan and Paquetá were immense, top quality. Newcastle are a big, big side and we got our fingers burnt at first but, after that, we played incredibly well.”
With the ring rusty, and ultimately disconsolate looking, Allan Saint-Maximin struggling to make a positive impact during a rare start it was no real surprise when he was eventually withdrawn and replaced by Anthony Gordon, making his Newcastle debut after his £45m signing from Everton.
The new boy swiftly showed off a nifty change of pace and some pleasingly fancy footwork but afterwards Howe did not look exactly overjoyed about reports Gordon had been caught driving while disqualified. “I’m aware of it,” he said. “I’m not sure the story quite matches up but I need to find out more.”

Outstanding Declan Rice helps West Ham bring Newcastle United back down to earth
Newcastle scored inside three minutes but West Ham rallied impressively to frustrate hosts
By Luke Edwards
There were some heavy legs and weary limbs as Newcastle United were reminded by West Ham how tough it is to juggle cup success and maintain league momentum.
West Ham’s celebrations at the end told their own story. They have far more experience of this tricky juggling act, performing well in Europe, but finding it far more difficult in the league this season.
There is no doubt the euphoria – and lack of sleep – that followed Newcastle’s Carabao Cup semi-final win over Southampton loomed large over the home team’s evening.
As did the absence of the suspended Bruno Guimaraes, whose creative eye was sorely missed in the middle of the pitch.
Even after catching West Ham cold in an explosive start, the hosts could not maintain their usual energy levels. They gave the ball away cheaply and were slow to get to the second balls in midfield. There was also a lack of imagination and clarity in the final third. It is not just tired bodies catching up with Newcastle, it is also the more draining effects of mental fatigue.
Yet, if there was disappointment at dropping points at home, opening the door for Tottenham Hotspur in the chase for Champions League qualification, there was also pride, too.
Newcastle were visibly struggling in the first half as West Ham seized the initiative, but in the final stages, it was the visitors who were clinging on, defending resolutely but at the expense of any sort of offensive threat.
Even when they are feeling the lingering effects of a midweek high, Newcastle could still build up enough pressure to create the chances to have scored a second.
Callum Wilson, who had scored his first goal since October in a whirlwind opening to the game, missed two chances he will feel he could have done better with. One was down to a magnificent tackle from the classy Nayef Aguerd, but the other was a free header, eight yards out, in the middle of the goal that he put straight at the keeper.
West Ham, though, appear to have turned the corner under David Moyes. They endured a nightmare start, in which Joe Willock had a goal inside 40 seconds disallowed because the ball had just rolled out of play before Miguel Almiron’s cut-back found him in the area and then Wilson ran through the middle of the defence to convert Sean Longstaff’s pass.
It was the ideal springboard, but West Ham snapped out of their slumber and with Declan Rice breaking up play in the middle of the pitch, they deserved their equaliser.
“Whatever the British transfer record is, he is going to break it whenever he leaves West Ham,” said Moyes. “When you see what is going for £85 million at the moment, he is going to blow that out of the water. I’m not going to put a figure on it and I hope he stays …”
The equaliser came from Rice’s corner and was nicely taken by Lucas Pacqueta, who held off Kieran Trippier at the far post before poking the ball beyond Nick Pope.
